Maxim Emelyanychev live in City of Edinburgh

Experience Maxim Emelyanychev live on March 18th

Maxim Emelyanychev, a Russian countertenor renowned for his interpretations of Baroque and Classical repertoire, will perform at The Queen's Hall in Edinburgh on March 18, 2027. Emelyanychev is notable for his agile vocal technique and expressive phrasing, often performing works originally written for castrati while also embracing a diverse range of operatic and concert pieces. He frequently collaborates with period instrument ensembles, prioritizing historically informed performance practice.

The Queen’s Hall occupies a significant place in Edinburgh’s cultural landscape. Opened in 1979 following a campaign to preserve a suitable concert venue in the city centre, it was converted from a former Free Church. The building retains many original architectural features while functioning as a flexible performance space. It is known for its excellent acoustics and hosts a wide variety of events including classical music concerts, jazz performances, traditional folk music, and theatrical productions. The hall has become a key venue during the Edinburgh International Festival and Fringe Festival each year. Its capacity is approximately 900 seats, offering an intimate setting for performances. It underwent significant refurbishment in the early 2020s to enhance accessibility and facilities.
